    Did you weigh the jersey and it's packaging and check the An Post website?

    No trees were harmed in the posting of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

    Herein lies my problem, I don't know if it's possible to use a large envelope or if a package is necessary. The jersey weighs no more than 300g.

    Thanks. that's all well and good but do you think I could manage with a large envelope or will I need to use a packet? I can't really tell without having them in front of me.

    If you can package it up so its less than 2.5cm deep then you should be able to post it as a large envelope.

    Sure just fold it once put it in a plastic bag then wrap it and you should be fine.

    Yeh you are better off asking for it when its something like that. I've had to ask them to get them to change it to large envelope a few times when posting books if its a once off its not so bad but we send a few a week so it would add up and its not like the margin on books is that good!!
